    When people subscribe to my feed, it says "Feed ######" as opposed to "I Love Horror." How does one fix this?

    Many thanks in advance!

    A link to your site would help but in the meantime check that you have entered the site's name in Admin/Settings/General.

    No. You need to hide the site title in your header from graphical browsers instead. You could try adding:

    #header h1 {position:absolute;top:-5000px;left:-5000px;}

    to your theme's stylesheet.

    I did that and all it did was completely change the format of the site. Where exactly should I add it?

    Even when I add the blog title under Settings, the problem doesn't get fixed. Any other suggestions? This is driving me insane.

    The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 2: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.

    Has anyone else. How do I fix this?

    Your feed validates (is okay) with the W3C, but it does mention this as a potential issue. Feedburner problems are common here, probably because that service is buggy, tetchy, or tricky to set up correctly.

    I'm guessing it's a feedburner issue but am interested to see if anyone else has had this from WordPress?

    hi minnellium, i'm getting the same problem when i try to burn this feed http://lostgirlsworld.com/feed

    It validates, but feedburner won't accept it.

    Did you ever figure out how to fix your problem?
